Mr Chester said, "St Mary's senior students were eager to broaden their already impressive understanding of the three levels of government and learn about my work as the Federal Member for Gippsland during my visit. I was peppered with questions, and we had a great discussion about local, state, national and even international issues."
"One of the best parts of my job is visiting local schools, speaking with students and helping them understand what their local Member of Parliament does, as well as how I am working to support the community," Mr Chester said.
